Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Foundation for Educational Services, II, Inc. maintains a comprehensive conflict of interest policy for directors and officers. The policy exists to identify potential instances in which an individual could obtain a direct or indirect personal gain or advantage to the detriment of the organization, or where an individual's conduct could have an adverse or potentially adverse effect on the interests of the organization. The policy contains an affirmative duty to disclose, as well as a specific process for disclosures of potential conflicts of interest, a protocol in which independent, outside legal counsel is used to evaluate whether a conflict exists, procedures for addressing actual conflicts of interest, and consequences for violations of the conflicts policy. The policy requires all directors and officers to complete and submit an annual conflicts disclosure form to outside legal counsel. In addition, the conflict of interest policy is included in the employee handbook which all employees must acknowledge and agree to abide by.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Outside legal counsel undertakes a comprehensive evaluation of the compensation and benefit packages for officers and other affected employees of the organization, comparing the same to relevant history and other market comparables. Counsel then provides to the Board of Directors a summary of the comparability data, an analysis of the data relative to the organizational employees, and a reasoned opinion concerning his conclusion. The Board of Directors then confirms and ratifies all compensation/benefits packages, with the decision process properly documented as required by the regulations. On a routine basis we engage an independent compensation specialist to provide comparable data for key positions.
